I believe in safety first and following the rules, so I'm practiced with canine first aid and well-versed in walking guidelines. I'm pretty flexible, so if your dog has any special needs, or if there's anywhere in particular you'd like your dog to visit, just let me know.

Information Jimmy W. would like to know about your pet

I don’t have any preference on breeds! My dog gets along with any animal, and is the most gentle/sweet pup so I have zero worries for any dog I take care of. :)

A typical day

Love to take my dog to the park or go swimming in a lot of great spots in Madison! Hiking is big in my family and we go to Devils Lake regularly to get exercise!

Pet care experience

I have been a dog walker/dog sitter and have been boarding dogs for 20+ years. I understand the importance of trusting someone to care for your "kids". I grew up with a household of furry friends! I have experience with training puppies, like I did with my dog who is very well behaved and the sweetest dog you’ll ever meet (Stella). I also have experience with senior Dog Care and dogs ranging from 5lbs-160lbs. I’ve also had a bird, cat, guinea pig and other animals growing up. I just have a passion for loving all animals and taking care of them.

Jimmy is a great match for our dog Tala! He sees her twice a week and provides her walks, playtime in the yard, and brings his dog so she has a doggy companion to play with. He has been patient and helpful working with Tala despite her having little training as a new rescue dog. We hope to have him as our regular walker for a long time!

Jimmy and Stella did a great job with my two completely different tempered dogs. I have a 8 month old and a 13+ year old who both loved Jimmy and Stella. Very much appreciated!

Jimmy did an amazing job babysitting our dog, Odin. Odin is a 70lb lapdog that is also an 8 year old puppy who LOVES attention! Jimmy stayed at our house with Odin for 5 days. When we got home, Odin did not even act like we had left, which says a lot about the attention that Jimmy gave Odin. Sometimes when we leave Odin and he doesn't get enough attention, he is super needy or a bit naughty when we get home, and he was just relaxed and normal as can be like we had never left! Jimmy gave plenty of updates/pictures, and left our home exactly how he had found it (even putting the bedding in the wash which was completely unnecessary, but SO thoughtful!) I would definitely use Jimmy again and recommend him to anyone!
